yer, y when i register dont have that promotion >_<"
im still practicing the violin but the sound is abit weird i think i need some tunning on it now. hard coz i only got 1 hour to practice per day .
but i'll try to relax while playing next time

Lol, i love this sentence the most xD Anyway I'm gonna find a part time job and save up for a viola =)

well i was exagrerating lol, 10 million ringgit certainly can't buy a whole shopping mall i'm supposed (well maybe small one), but 10 million ringgit, to buy a violin...

i'm going there tomorrow or wednesday, it's once in a life time opportunity unless you want to travel to europe/italy.

i think the original value is not 10m. more like hundred k. then over time, its value shoot up

hey there, do you play the violin?

seems like you're touhou fans, i love ZUN's playing (he indeed a violin player, beside composing all the soundtracks, he also record violin tracks for touhou games).

yeah i play violin. but just beginner level. just started last year

hi ppl,
I'm so glad I finally found a place to ask questions on violin in malaysia.

I love music and have been wanting to learn at least ONE instrument in my lifetime. I love strings and would like to pick up violin but was afraid that it'll be too hard for me. Recently I've decided to take the plunge.

Saw the promo and I'm taking it as a sign for me to realise my dreams (THAT or a chance to torture a music teacher...). Any chance of me getting the "Mysterious Gift" even if I enrolled a week after the deadline?
(I'm assuming the promo is still on in July)

I'm looking for a Yamaha electric violin (SILENT) right now because I'm shy and I don't want my neighbours to burn my house down while I proceed to saw the life out of my violin. It plays the same as a tradional one yes?

I might drop by this weekend to check out your shop. btw, what are your opening time? Hopefully, you'll not deem me an impossible mission.

btw, anyone know where I find a trustworthy shop for the Yamaha electric violin? I'm like a TOTAL NOOB when it comes to instruments.
I don't want to empty my piggy bank for a problematic / overpriced item.

Thanks!

no. dun aim for electric violin yet if u just started. and its heavier than normal 1. if u wan a silent 1, u just add a mute on the bridge of the normal violin. can cute down alot of sound. even my hsemate cant hear me practice.

Ohh... thanks

My bank account send its thanks! (My credit company however...)

btw anyone happens to live in USJ 11 or around that area? mind to help me to tune my violin? coz i wont be able to attend my class for the next few weeks so i think i need some tunning for it coz i dont wan my neighbours to throw stones at my aunt's house because of my violin's sound

Wow... can someone tell me why is there a HUGE price difference between Malaysia and other countries?
I'm not even talking about handmade pieces from Europe. I would have assumed Yamaha (with its worldwide branches) will have similiar pricing across the globe. (The pricing does seemed uniformed... except when it comes to Malaysia)

I was checking out prices for the Yamaha SV-120 which is quite uniformedly priced around RM 1,800 - RM 2,100 AROUND THE WORLD... but when it comes to malaysia... WELL OVER 3k??!!!

Am I missing something?

malaysia's tax ate it all

tats why, spend a lil to singapore

just stumbled upon this, i'm a cellist myself. been playing since practically when i was in secondary school. stopped taking classes few years though.

p/s: CELLO, awesome, ur a cellist too.. haha.. how long have you been playing for?

p/s 2: do you guys have gatherings or meetups?

staying in usj maybe able help tune ur violin

mayb I'll try some viola here in perth, isit true that msia instruments are more exp? Like those hand made ones. Cos i'm intending to get a new one. =/

yeap MOST of the time it is...best import urslef in or buy from someone you know : teachers etc.

hmm, mayb teachers will 'tax' u too, who knows =D they wanna earn too xD

that ehehe can be discussed mah....at least u know its quality shouldnt be far off from the fetching price compared to the crazy killer prices at shops

unless one go oversea to buy the instruments, you cannot try the instrument if buying off internet.

and paying the air ticket, i think buying locally is better...
